The evening starts at 6.45p.m with a pre-dinner cocktail reception, sponsored by Diageo. Guests will be called to their seats prompt at 7.15p.m.

How Do I Get There?

I’d book a taxi. Remember there is NO free bus for guests this year.

Anyone Interesting Going?

You will be joined by about 280 journalists, PR managers, politicians, leaders of public and private bodies and their guests.

Will People be Dressing Up?

The ball is a black tie event, so the proper attire is dinner suits/kilts for men, evening/cocktail wear for women.

Is it Expensive?

Your ticket price has been maintained at a ridiculously low level for many years. It includes the reception, a three-course meal and a ceilidh. Hopefully this will allow you to spend freely at our charity raffle, tombola and casino.
